December, 2016 – Subscription Box Rankings

For the month of December, we had the pleasure of reviewing BarkBox, PoochPerks, The Dapper Dog Box, Happy Hound Club, Pet GiftBox, Paw Pack and Surprise Pawty boxes. Yes, I got 7 boxes last month. Some of them we receive as affiliates, however, I picked up a few extras last month as Christmas presents for Bruce Wayne. If you are interested in trying any of these dog subscription boxes, I will include links and the discount codes I have at the end of this post.

As always, below is our “ranking system”. Our ranking system is strictly based on Bruce Wayne’s size and preferences. There may have been a box that your dog loved, but wasn’t a great fit for Bruce Wayne and vice versa. Bruce Wayne is extremely picky and borders on almost “strange” at times, lol. I encourage you at one point or another to give all these boxes a try. You never know what you’ll get, which is always the funnest part of it all.

With so many boxes to chose from, it was certainly hard to pick a favorite. The overall favorite item for the month of December was the World’s Best Dog Hot Cocoa Mug from Barkbox. I loved that it had removable (BW sized) marshmallows and the cup was made with the crinkle material that Bruce Wayne loves. Bruce Wayne’s favorite treat that he received was the PolkaDog treats in both the Pet GiftBox and Dapper Dog boxes. The subscription boxes brought their A game in December and made it especially hard for us to pick a favorite.

Bottom Line: Our favorite December box was The Dapper Dog Box. Overall, The Dapper Dog Box was successful in sending both treats and toys that were appropriate for Bruce Wayne. The standout item for us in the December Dapper Dog Box was the Jax and Bones holiday wreath toy. Bruce Wayne loves to chew on rope toys, while I loved that we got a popular name brand toy. Bruce Wayne also loved the PolkaDog treats and Bobby and Bambi’s Holiday Biscuits. The only item in the box that Bruce Wayne didn’t necessarily care for was the PrideBites elf toy, but I was still impressed to get another brand name toy in his box.

WINNER Update: Thank you to all that participated in our giveaway and for sharing your thoughts on subscription boxes. Congratulations to our randomly selected winner @griffonthecockapoo! Please check back in about 2 weeks when we pick our favorite January subscription box.

There is many things that we are so excited to see in a supsciptipn box! To start with, we love seeing toys in them! Who’s dog doesn’t like toys? My dogs are completely ubbsesed with toys! This past Christmas I bought so many toys that I have to make new room and start a huge toy bin! Here favorite part is trying to rip them apart and make me sow them back together. It’s fun though! We have a little "hospital" so called where we fix them up good as new! Secondly, we love when they give us treats. It’s my dogs second favorite thing! They would do anything for new treats! We are always trying new treats because we like to adventure with them and see what kinds there are! Thank you so much for this operation! My Instagram is @chesapeakepups and my email is baydoc123@icloud.com

LOL, we love the "hospital" idea. That is so cute! Bruce Wayne doesn’t have enough power to tear through any of his toys. I think the only ones he’s actually destroyed is cat toys, but they aren’t worth trying to put back together at 99 cents, lol.

We are always most excited to see small treats that can be used for training, treats that can be stuffed into a kong or other type of toy, and most importantly… treats that are healthy. Thanks for reviewing all of the boxes, it helps so much when trying to pick one and heating different opinions. @blissisbeingaweasel

We completely agree on the treats needing to be healthy! Luckily, I feel like more and more subscription box companies understand that us as dog parents want healthier treats and not just treats from major dog food brands! 🙂

We like small treats that are healthy are not too high in calories since doxies can be prone to back issues if they get over weight. The good news is we have lots of friends that we can share excess treats with!

We love to receive single ingredient treats! Griffon is a big fan of jerky chews, and they work great for photo shoots! We already receive the dapper dog box (which we also LOVE!). Our best Instagram friend @thegoldenfinn has a birthday coming up in February, so if we were to win, we would definitely share with him! Thanks again for sharing presents with your followers! @griffonthecockapoo robertslauryn@hotmail.com

That’s so very sweet of you, Lauryn. Your are such a great friend! 🙂 Single ingredient treats are amazing, it lets us dog parents keep from worrying so much. We are glad to see another fellow Dapper Dog Box friend, Kerri has been killing it with her boxes! 🙂

I am excited to see single ingredient treats in any gift box. Yoda’s health is very important to me and I like to know exactly what’s going into his body (sometimes he makes that decision himself much to my dismay lol!) So pretty much anything healthy makes me happy. My IG is @yoda_th3corgi ❤

We’d love to receive any single ingredient treats. I agree with Lauryn that jerky treats are awesome and Louie and I especially like trying treats with novel proteins in them like venison and rabbit. I also like knowing what goes into things I feed Louie and giving him new things to try. Our Instagram is @livinwithlouie
